Entrevista
Starts with a short phone interview, then SQL/Python assessment (2 hours), HR interview (2 hours!), Professional Interview, Owner Interview and Recommenders. Very slow and unprofessional process and more words to get to 30 words right

The process started with a phone interview with HR lasting 15 minutes. Technical interview with the exception of a few easy questions about SQL concepts.
After that, I progressed to a 45-minute long psychotechnical-analytical test that is carried out from home.
After I finished with him, I received a call that they would be happy to move forward with me to the next step, which is a test in SQL and Python at the company's offices, lasting two and a half hours.
Until this stage the proceedings have been smoother and faster than any other process I have gone through.
I arrived at the company's offices the next day. I cleared the whole day and took the test which was of above average difficulty.
After three days in a disrespectful manner I received an automated email from Comeet that after an examination they decided not to continue.
They didn't bother to pick up the phone and thank me for the time and let me ask what they were disqualified for so that I could improve.
In my opinion, it simply shows organizational culture.

Tl;dr
Unprofessional, rude and perhaps even slightly unhinged. Be alert or just stay away.
4 interviews, an SAT-type test (quite old fashioned), was told I passed all stages and impressed them, then got ghosted. Couldn't follow up as there were no contact details for people with answers.
2 weeks later suddenly get a generic "we decided to move forward with another candidate" email.
There are more details which I cannot share here.
Overall a convoluted, old fashioned, badly communicated and misleading process, which included some screaming too.
My rule of thumb is - if they treat you this way as a candidate, there's absolutely no reason they would treat you better as an employee.
Beware!
